In a career that began at Towcester in February 2011 when he only had one horse behind him in a National Hunt flat race, Thomas Crapper has recorded four wins from 21 starts as well as frame places on eight other occasions.

That was the brainchild of Warrick Knott, the current managing director of the Thomas Crapper company, based in Stratford-upon-Avon.

On the horse's website, Knott reveals: "Robin was convinced he would be a winner and he needed a name and it was at this point, I said we should call him Thomas Crapper.

There is little doubt that Thomas Crapper is a much better horse at Cheltenham than any other track - and that's certainly no bad thing.
